Default starting problems

Hey guys. I've got my carb loosened up now. Thanks for all your help. The little old engine is lubed up, and ready to start. I went to the hobby shop and got a gallon of 10% fuel and a new glow plug. When I put the plug warmer on it, I can feel the head get warm. I flip the prop over with the chicken stick, and it'll hit and run for about a second, then shut off. It's got 3 adjustments on the carb. All are set to what it was on the last time the plane was in the air. What are these for, and should they be changed? Am I doing something wrong to cause it not to start? How much should the barrell be open on start up? I know this is a lot to ask, but any input you guys have would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
